To avoid wasting the time of HUMANISTs, I will update this list as
significant new information arrives. Once the list seems to have
stabilized, perhaps more precise types of information can be
added on types of computer involvement, contact persons, etc.

Add the Organization of American Historians and the American Historical
Association. The AHA, at least, sponsors "computers in history" type
stuff. I've never been a member of the OAH. Those two are the big ones;
there are scads of regional/topics organizations.
